Kun mun kultani tulisi [English translation]

If my darling would come,

if my beloved would tread,

I'd recognize them from their arrival,

I'd guess from their footsteps,

I'd guess from their footsteps,

if they were still a verst away

if they were still a verst away

or behind two of them.

I would go out as mist,

as smoke into the yard,

as smoke into the yard,

I'd fly as sparks,

I'd fly as sparks,

I'd flow as a flame;

I would go beside them,

Offer my mouth for a kiss.

Aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa

Sure I'd hold their hand,

even with a snake in their palm;

sure I'd kiss their mouth,

even with Death before it;

sure I'd reach to hold them,

even with Death on their collarbones;

sure I'd lie next to them,

even with my place full with blood.

But my darling hasn't got

no wolf's blood on their mouth,

nor hands covered in a snake's tallow;

nor their neck within death's reach;

their mouth is of molten butter,

their lips like of honey nectar,

their lips like of honey nectar,

hands golden, decorated,

hands golden, decorated,

their neck like the stem of a heather.
